“…Until recently the species has been confused with S. leucodon in this country. Karyotype of Nannospalax ehrenbergi with 52 chromosomes was also reported by Coşkun et al [20,21] in Al-Jurn, Mosul province.…”

K uzey Irak bölgesinden 3 farklı lokaliteden toplanan 11 Kör Fare (Nannospalax) örneği üzerinde ayrıntılı olarak morfolojik özellikleri çalışılmıştır. Bazı taksonomik özellikleri, dış vücut ve baş iskeleti ölçüleri araştırılmıştır. Örneklerden elde edilen bilgiler literatür bilgileriyle karşılaştırılmıştır. Sonuçlar bu bölge Körfare'lerinin incelenen populasyonlarının benzer morfolojik özelliklere sahip olduklarını göstermektedir. Böylece, Kuzey Irak populasyonları morfolojik bakımından Nannospalax ehrenbergi türü olarak değerlendirilmiştir.

“…A similar pattern was also recorded in other cytotypes and species of mole rats (e.g., . The nucleolar organizer regions were detected in only two autosomal pairs and this finding is consistent with other data reported in mole rats (Ivanitskaya et al, 1997;Coşkun, Aşan Baydemir, Kaya, & Karöz, 2014).…”

A new cytotype was found in a population of mole rats Nannospalax xanthodon from south-eastern Anatolia, Turkey. The karyotype contained 46 chromosomes and 66 autosomal arms (11 biarmed and 11 acrocentric autosomal pairs). The X chromosome was submetacentric and the Y chromosome small subtelocentric. Distinct dark C-bands were observed on all the biarmed chromosomes and on three pairs of acrocentric autosomes. The NORs were detected on the short arms of two subtelocentric pairs of autosomes. The published data indicate considerable chromosomal variation between populations of mole rats in south-eastern Anatolia. The finding of a karyotype with a unique chromosomal number in the karyologically well-studied region of south-eastern Anatolia indicates that the karyotype structuring between mole rat populations may be even more complex than previously realised.
